The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 drastically changed the delivery of social services in the United States for the first time in sixty years. More than a decade later, according to Catholic social ethicist Thomas Massaro, a disturbing gap exists between the laws we have enacted as a nation and the moral concerns we profess as a people. Massaro contends that ethicists too often focus on strictly theoretical concerns rather than engaging concrete social and political issues, while public policy experts are uncomfortable drawing ethical judgments about legislation. United States Welfare Policy takes. Catholic social teaching : general approaches to social policy -- The historical context of U.S. welfare policy -- At the crossroads : the welfare reform law of 1996 -- The bishops' contribution to the welfare reform debate -- Implementing welfare reform, 1996-2006 -- The politics and ethics of welfare reauthorization.
